Surf Sangoma

1
Don't go to the water.
Grandmother! Grandmother, come back!
Please, no!
Coach, coach, did you see that?
I did a gnarly turn and I didn't fall.
Coach?
Oh, yeah, yeah. I saw you.
Soon you'll be teaching me, eh?
I'll see you next week.
Okay, bye!
Hey. Earth to Njabulo!
Bro, what's going on?
You spaced out again.
Are you okay?
I don't know, either.
- Just chill. I'll be fine.
- Remember, dudes,
surfing beyond the wall
is illegal and deadly.
Come on, bro.
Are you sure you're not getting tired
of this kiddie pool?
Trust me, boy.
A little splash on the open water
-with the gang and you'll be a grand
-Mnqobi,
we agreed we're just gonna watch.
Nothing more.
Fine, you don't want to be legendary
like Ma Zed.
Real surfing in the ocean,
old-school style?
Mnqo, you do realize
I'm not my grandmom, right?
Come on, don't be a choker.
I just hate to see
you waste your gift like this.
Ah, what gift?
I'm just the Wavy World mascot out here.
Looks like water levels
have reached record high.
Flooding along the wallhas sparked
new waves of civil unrest.
Better stay home and stay safe.
What do you even know about surfing?
Whenever we get into the water,
you look like a squirrel
trying to surf an ironing board.
Yeah, you got jokes, man.
- Funny guy.
- Oh.
Come on, bro!
Whoa!
Jesus!
Ay, Jesus!
We are headed to the big leagues, my bro.
Whoo-hoo!
Come.
Come.
Hey, wait, are you sure about this place?
Yeah. You're about to flip.
Boys! Where are you going?
Hey! Don't run away.
Don't go to the water.
Oh, man, this is
what I've been telling you about, boy.
Bro, wearing those things
just to surf, though
ah, it's too much.
Yes, of course brother,
without that,
you wouldn't last a minute out there.
Ah, finally,
Njabulo Zondi has graced us
with his presence.
What's up, Mnqobisto?
Welcome!
How, gents, I don't see your boards.
Uh, boards? We just came to watch.
There is no watching here.
You kids surf or you leave.
Come.
Don't be scared, boys.
These sweet babies will have you
dancing on the waves.
Well then, let's get it!
Mnqobi! What are you doing?
- What are you doing?
- Ooh.
Looks like surfing doesn't run
in the blood after all, I say.
Calm down, Njabulo,
we could do it together.
I, I can't do this.
The great Njabulo Zondi, ah?
A coward.
- Get lost, Njabulo.
- I
Go back to your fishbowl.
I'm done.
Mnqobi, don't!
Please!
Mnqobi!
Yes! You see.
No wonder you got Ma Zed killed.
Mnqobi!
- Njabulo, don't go to the water
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not now.
No!
Come check out Ma Zed's surfboard!
In living memory of the greatest surfer
to ever ride these shores.
Njabulo, bro, come on, bro.
I'm sorry I left you hanging
the other day.
I promise I'll make it up to you.
Oh, yeah?
Where are your new friends now, eh?
Aren't you afraid
they'll see you with a choker?
I said I was sorry, bro.
You're my day one, Njabulo.
Eish.
Mnqobi.
Grab him!
Eh?
You second-hand fool.
You second-hand!
Kwaa.
You'd swear the grandson of Ma Zed
would have more pride than this.
Okay, enough fun and games.
Mnqo, get the board.
Mnqo, please!
It's all I have left!
I said, now!
You are a disgrace to your name, kiddo.
That board deserves to be on open waters
with real surfers.
No.
Don't go to the water, eh? Promise me.
The only place to surf is Wavy World.
Don't go to the water, my child.
I'm sorry, Grandmother!
Don't go to the water.
Go back to the water, my child.
Go back to the water.
Go back to the water?
Go back to the water?
Time to break this baby in.
Hey, whoa, whoa. Mlindos, please.
He doesn't know what he is doing.
He's not worth your time, bro.
Oh, Mnqo.
Are you turning your back on squids now?
Mnqobi!
Seems like
everyone close to you dies, kiddo.
No!
Good riddance, poster boy.
Beginner's luck.
Just watch, baba.
Oh.
Mnqobi!
Ugh!
Zondi! Nondaba! Bambata!
Njabulo!
You've grown up, baby.
How you've grown.
Such a beautiful surfer.
But those moves.
Grandmother!
I'm sorry.
This mess, it's, it's all my fault.
No.
The ocean does not recognize tears,
my child.
You have a gift.
You have a gift.
Much greater than mine.
You are one with the ocean up there.
You can feel it.
The ocean was always calling you.
But the ocean took you.
And now it's taken Mnqobi.
Hey!
Mnqobi's not gone.
Mnqobi's not gone?
My child, go.
Go!
Mnqobi!
Take him. The board.
Get my board!
No.
Mnqobi!
Uzu!
Huh?
Njabulo child, I'm so sorry.
Things just they just got out of hand.
And I don't blame you if you hate me.
Hate you?
How, brother?
You know you're my day one.
- I know, but--
- Stop.
If you hadn't been judgy like that,
maybe I'd have never gone back
to the open water.
Or used your gift.
Maybe I'm your gift, you know?
Precious cargo, bro.
Best treat me real nice.
Gift? You owe me, fool.
Oh, okay, okay, sharp.
Okay, smart stuff, then tell me,
when are we going out there again?
Huh? Out there?
